Summary
Hundreds of UK flights grounded overnight as a major glitch in the National Air Traffic Service paralyzed air traffic control across 15 airports, sparking chaos and delays. Though the system was restored by 7:30 PM Tuesday, full recovery is taking time — airlines and airports warn travelers to brace for more disruptions through Wednesday. Passengers were urged to check with their carriers and avoid airports unless they have confirmed flights. Nats CEO Martin Rolfe apologized, confirmed no cyberattack was involved, and called it an unprecedented issue in the organization’s 50-year history. While controllers are back online, the fallout continues — stay updated on your flight status as the aviation network works to get back to normal.
